Today the forwards lost the battle for me. For the first time in years Rover looked a look better in the forwards making at least 10 meters with the majority of carries. Micky P has been quality but went missing tonight, same with Carvell. Did well to have just one point in it.

Another close loss and the 2 big issues with our season - goalkicking and the right hand side defence continue to require attention.

Agree, the two starting props were really disappointing, although thought Watts and Bowden went ok. I thought the penalty against Bowden that ultimately cost us the game was a little harsh.

We missed Heremaia, but obviously the toothless one never get's it wrong.

You seem strangely obsessed by Radford's dentures. It's getting slightly creepy TBH.

Carvell Paea Ellis and Westerman were poor and couldn't deal with the skinny 10 that was in play. The halves kicking was garbage on top of that. Watts was the best prop for hull.

Did the one-pointer definitely go between the uprights and above the cross-bar ?

I didn't think there was that much in the forward battle and it swung one way then the other at different times. Main difference for me was our near non existent half backs, lack of kicking game and poor last tackle options. Agree that the failure to police the 10 metre rule favoured rovers but they had more energy than us and deserved the win. Think it would have been a different game with feka and heremaia in the 17

Not sure about that I thought we were slow in out defensive line in comparison to them. Or best forwards from last week didn't turn up really. Agree about halves they struggled from minute one and the kicking in particular was garbage.

oh well at least short turnaround, chance for fc to get back to winning ways, although we gonna have to make sure we treat london with respect , hopefully feka herminea tuson back, would think of drafting crooks and arundel in to,

Think Rankin showed one or two sparks but Miller was non-existent and neither of them put in a decent kick all night.

Some of the younger forwards put some effort in and Ellis worked hard in the first half but overall the pack was poor.

Absolutely, however I'm sure I'm not the only one who is getting fed up that we have a lose a game before we can win one.

Though Rankin was okay, good first try, and the pass to Shaul. If Shaul had scored I think the game would have gone another way.

I am creepy I'm currently reading through all your posts.

He represents the club through the media soget your dentures sorted out for sake looks like he should be on benefit street.

We are City Of Culture 2017 didn't you know?

have you got anything good to say ? bet your having a brill night,

I agree. burns won the game for them with that tackle as much as the drop goal
